The story that is likely Andrew Breitbart's final piece of investigative work is out, and in the video, Breitbart himself calls his "exclusive" the "story of the decade." But it was neither an exclusive nor the story of the decade, the Atlantic Wire notes after doing what Adam Martin describes as "a few minutes of Googling." The video shows an "Occupy Strategy Session" at NYU that, Breitbart claims, was billed as "a group talk on 'The Abolition of Capitalism.'" But the Feb. 11 panel discussion was actually called "The Winter of Our Discontent"—and it was open to the public, and videos had already been posted online days after the event.

Though Breitbart claimed the event proves that the Occupy movement teamed up with the Service Employees International Union to abolish capitalism, it turns out that the part about abolishing capitalism wasn't exactly a call to … abolish capitalism. As a portion of the description reads: "The abolition of capitalism—or else the elaboration of new forms of mixed economy…?" Meanwhile, Breitbart's last written piece, which centers on Barack Obama's participation in a 1998 panel discussion on Saul Alinsky, also "doesn't exactly break ground," Martin writes. "It's hard to believe this is the 'story of the decade' that conspiracy theorists thinkgot him assassinated."

This guy was ancient history as of Friday. We needn't keep calling him a shitheel. That's the right-wing anti-American republican party way of doing things. Let's be sure to vote-- keep these fucking pieces of shit out of office.

I dislike anyone who leans too far in either direction. There's good & bad (really bad) on each end. I like to choose from either column. My friends and family share similar beliefs.

He was just a hateful mean person and we're better off without him. Hate if NOT a family value (or a christian or muslim value either for that matter). Hopefully he'll learn something about peace and love where ever he is now.
